WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our regular correspondent)
WASHINGTON, April Is, 1887

w AShlN1ION, Aplh 10, 1901.
A close observer of the dletetic habits
Of the Cabinet has discovered, and Civ
en- to the world the result of his re-
searches, that the only total abstalner
who sits at Mr.. Cleveland's Council
Board is Attorney General Garland.
He also disco vered that Secretary
Whitney's liquor bills were very large
owing to his liberal hospitality. If
anything were needed, however to de-
monstrate the leaning of the President
towards the temperance cause, it is only
necessary to point to the recent exam
pie set in this respect by the mistress
of the White House, who without the
least trace of fanaticism or intolerance,
occupies the position that the drinking
of intoxicating liquors is neither
proper thing to do nor encourage. 1t
will be remember that when at the Dip
lomatic State dinner the customary
seven or eight wines were served as u.s.
ual to the guests, Mrs. Cleveland took
only water.
Mrs. Cleveland's interesting person.
ality continues to afford much materi-
al for the gossips and the press. Her
most trivial saying and doing, and
many things which she has never said
or done, are constantly printed. She
is now enjoying season of quiet re-
tirement and rest at the Presidents
country place, 'Oak View, and has
not been at the White House for a
fortnight.
The novel proposition has been made
that all the ladies who have presided as
hostess of the Executive Mansion make
arrangements for meeting and recep-
tion in Washington. All the former
Presidents haye passed away, but there
are still living eleven ladies who have
occupied the position of first lady of the
land. These are the widow of President
Tyler and Mrs. Semple, hel step daugh-
ter, now an inmate of the Louise Home
in this city, who, during the period be-
tween her own mothers death and the
second marriage of her father, was the
the head of his household at the White
House. Then there are the widow Of
President Polk, and Mr.. Johnson.
the niece of President Buchanan. who
was for four years the mistress of the
Mansion; Mrs. Pattison, the daughter
of President Johnson; Mrs. Grant,
who had the position for eight years,
Mrs. Hayes, who had it four; Mrs
Garfield, who had it only six months;
Mrs, McElroy, the last President Ar
thurs sister, who was lady of the
White House during part of each of the
three years of his term; Miss Rose
Cleveland. who reigned fifteen months,
and lastly, the young wife of the Presi-
dent.

CoNGREs sMAN SooTT, of Erie is said
by the Burlington On. J) Gazette to
be willing to bet $4,000 that Presi-
dent Cleveland will be renominated
without serious opposition and rec
lected at the proper time Futher-
more, he is said to be willing to wager
q similar sum that the Republican
party will make no Presidential nom-
nations after 1892. The theory upon
which the last wager is to be laid is
that another defeat will disintegrate
the Republican party, which Charles
Wolfe insists is held together now only
by the hope of victory in 1888.

TERRIFIC STORM IN OHIO AND
WEST VIRGINIA.
Walnut Grove Struck Without a
Mo r eut's Notice Dwelling Hous-
es Blown Down and a Number of
Persons Injured.

WHEELING, w. Va, April 10
The first genuine cyclone eyer witness
ed in this vicinity was experienced this
afternoon and wrought devastation ov-
er sectior of the country, extending
from st. Clairsville, Ohio, ten miles
west, to point as far east as this city.
Little damage was done here. The
high hills 'on both sides of the river
sheltering houses, but :the comm otiOn
in the upper air was noticed and few
roofs were damaged, houses W ere level
ed, trees snapped off like pipe stems,
horses and cattle Frustrated and carried
bodily hundreds of yards by the gale,
aud the sky was darkened with the
clouds of flyng debris. The storm and
its effects showed all the distinguished
character of the western cyclones. No
cas- ualties to persons are reported. the
funnel-shaped cloud having been seen
approaching in time for families to take
refuge in cellars. The loss In st. Glars
yille will reach 100000. At Martins
Ferry IS to 100 houses were more or
less damaged, and the loss will reach
Sl65, 900. Every few minutes news
comes of additional damage in the
county. and it is safe to say it will ex-
ceed millions of dollars.
WHEELING, April 17.-All day to-
day the sound of the saw and hammer
broke the stiffness Of the Sabbath in the
cyconewrecked towns of Martins Fer
ry and st. Clalrsville, over the river.
Though two days have now elapsed
since the storm, little progress is notice
able in clearing away the debris left by
the storm, and a quarter of century
will scarcely efface its ravages. The
destruction of groves, orchard and lawn
trees is an Item of the loss which is in
calculabe. All day thousands of sight
seers have aocked to each OF the two
towns, Railroad and steamboat excur-
sions brought the residents for miles
around, and all the roads were lined
with vehicles. Rain fell this afternoon
adding to sthe damage, as many houses
and valuable stocks OF goods are yet
roOfless.

As ArborDay is coming every man,
woman and child in Pennsylvania
shouldget a young tree, aslip, shrub,
or seed to plant on his or their
grounds. There are so many reasons,
says the Philadelphia Times, why the
forests should be renewed as to fur
nish at least one that will appeal to
every person. Rainfall and water sup
ply; floods and droughts, public health
and agriculture, the gro with of the
lumber demand and the decrease of the
lumber supply, and last, but by no
means least. the important Influence of
the beautiful ia nature as an educator
and refner of the individual, unite in
suggesting the universal observance
of this new sprin 6 festival.
The farmer who would be independ-
ent in his old.age, or who would leavea
more valuable inheri tan ce to his chill
dren than he could now do, can have
his wish by planting a lot full of such
valuable trees as the walnut and 9th
ers that bring high prices in the lum-
Der market. The imam who has a
country house which he may some
day sell, will add to its value by sur
rounding it with the means of shade
and fruit. There are few better per-
mauent investments than we'll select
ed trees. Let every one prepare for
Arbor Day.

TRUE, the interstate commerce law

TRUE, the interstate commerce law
is very complicated piece of legisla-
tion and therefore causes much embar-
assment in some of the commercial
channels of the country, but the asser-
ton that it will go to pieces is altogeth-
er too premature. While the benefits
which are claimed to result from the
law can hardly be noticed in the infan-
cy we have not the least doubt that
the commission which has the execu
tion of the measure in hands, and
which consits of some of the ablest
legal element in the land, will soon
straighten out the tangles and things
will move smoothly enough in due
time.
